Well, MSFT is giving "integrated experience" for XBox for years. So its not new to be honest.

"First Round Capital, A16Z, NEA, KPCB, Sequoia and Khosla all raised new funds very recently for a total of several billion dollars. Early seed stage doesn’t look bad either with 500 Startups, Lowercase Capital, etc. all raising new capital

What if the stock now bounces back? Nobody can deny that the company is generating some solid revenues with lots of potential. Investors might think this is really low valuation and we might see surge in buying. (Disclaimer: I do not own FB

Good article by Alexia. Like previous "RIP Good Times", it will spread doom and gloom. I wish this wasn't made public (as PG meant to send it to YC companies only). It will create unnecessary problems. Investors are aware of FB IPO. They kn

With the risk of getting downvoted; why this letter was made to public? I think it was meant for YC companies only. FB IPO has nothing to do with early stage investing. It may be a good thing that IPO didn't pop. We've averted a major bubbl

I loved Meebo back in 2005 but they became annoying as hell with their toolbar. I always felt that product was more of a "solution in search of a problem". Anyways, I'm happy for Meebo team. I'm following them for a while and they seem to b

Fabulous and fascinating. Question is whether earth can survice the onslaught of existing human activity in next billion years rather than collision from next 4 billion years.

I'd be mortified if any of the ads contain my face. I don't mind ads. But its getting little too far with adding my face as an endorser. Like the guy who is mentioned in this article; I may share items out of amusements but that doesn't mea

I Agree. Working longer != Success. Its working harder as well as smarter.

First of all, "lifestyle business" is a terrible name. I'd like to know who coined that term? To my main point - With risk of getting downvoted. Why not think bigger? Building business is hard. Be it local publishing house or web based prod

I like Opera. It needs some serious design love. It would be great if FB's all-star design team do overhaul of design if they buy Opera

Wow. I was too young when bubble started and all I remember is the talk that "Internet is going to change the world". But if companies like the one mentioned went public then I must imagine how bad situation might be at that time. Currently

For clarity - they should add logos of all supported browsers and versions too. I guess they don't support IE5. On a side note: Netflix doesn't support Chrome on new video player. Yesterday I was watching movie on Chrome and I was dumbfound

Its a great interview. Its interesting to hear about his thoughts on YouTube. He is expecting majority of GOOG's revenue coming from YouTube. Is YouTube going to be "hollywood killer"?

2. "Product visionary" is the term thrown around nowadays. Much like "ninja" and "rockstars" in dev jobs listings. CEO is the product guy. And in an early stage startup (< 10 employees) he should actively code if he is technical. Or des

Opera is amazingly fast too. Like Chrome/FF13. And smaller memory footprint. Its not marketed well unfortunately.

My bad. I should have mentioned search results page. But Google was known was clean search results page. It looks little mess now.

It may sound controversial, I'd love to be in his shoes to be honest. Kinect and XBox are future of gaming/computing. Enterprise division (traditional cash cow for MSFT) is stronger as always. Windows 7 was runaway success (even though Bay

Looks like FB is on acquisition spree. Instagram, Glancee and now Karma. Just in the space of one month. Are these (Glancee and Karma) people acquisitions?

Given the macro trend of "software is eating the world", its very likely that investors will chase $$ for dot com startups (or mobile apps nowadays). I completely agree that SpaceX, Tesla, Google Self-driving cars are proper engineering pro

If FB launches Adsense like product then that would be massive. Lot of websites have FB connect integrated into them and given the amount of data users have on FB you can do some solid targeting. Edit: Grammar
